A Comparison of Response-Contingent and Response-Independent Autoshaping Trials In Rats
… Lepper and Petursdottir (2017) found that response-contingent pairings (RCP) were more effective than responseindependent pairings (RIP) in producing vocalizations in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). RIP procedures entail a time-based intertrial interval (ITI) followed by the …

Reactions to response-contingent and noncontingent stimulation by non-handicapped infants and infants with multiple learning difficulties
… this investigation was to examine the effects of response-contingent and noncontingent stimulation on responding, motivation, and affect in three-four month old non-handicapped infants and severely/profoundly learning disabled and multiply impaired infants and children. Three experiments were …

An Experimental Analysis of Superstitious Behavior in College Males
The possibility that superstitious responses would occur when aversive stimulation was randomly presented was investigated. There were three groups of 20 male introductory psychology students each. The Shock Group (SG) was given 45 unavoidable shocks. The Reinforcement Shock Group {RSG) was given …

An 8-Step Program: Shaping and Fixed-Time Food Delivery Effects on Several Approximations and Undesired Responses in Goats.
… and 4 trial-terminating, or "undesirable," responses. Three La Mancha goats (Capra hircus) located at the Frank Buck Zoo in Gainesville, Texas were used for the study. A fixed-time 15 s (FT-15 s) was used during the baseline conditions, to examine the effects of response contingent and …

Assessing Motivational and Associative Learning Mechanisms Underlying Compulsive Drinking
… alcohol cues would elicit seeking conditioned responses. Then, to determine if the motivation provided by these cues influenced responding, mice were trained to respond for alcohol and tested in the presence of alcohol cues. Finally, to test if alcohol-paired cues influence compulsive drinking, …

The Effects of Pre-Trial Event Stimulus Properties on Timing in the Peak Interval Procedure
… the temporal location and type (i.e., cue alone, response-independent reinforcer alone, or cue and response-contingent reinforcer together) of the pre-trial event. An individual-trial analysis suggested that the type of stimulus event governs the extent of the shifts in middle time, with larger …

The effects of cognitive coping strategies on learned helplessness
… the deficits associated with exposure to noncontingent reinforcement was examined. Subjects in the inoculation condition received four hours training in a variety of cognitive coping strategies while participants in the brief treatment condition received only a few minutes of training in …

An experimental analysis of the parameters of facial screening
… for the treatment of self-injurious behavior, response-contingent aversive stimu-lation and overcorrection seem to be the most successful. However, many procedures are precluded from use by legal or other restrictions. Thus, many procedures that are both ethnically and aesthetically tolerable …

Experimental Analysis of Operant Learning with Social Reinforcement in Mice
… (SR) procedures in which operant responses are reinforced by the opportunity to interact in some way with other members of the same species (conspecifics) have been developed to study operant social learning in nonhuman animals, particularly with rats. Interest and research on SR …

The Association between Early Care and Education and Midlife Outcomes: The Abecedarian 5th Decade Follow-up
… primary hypothesis of this dissertation is that response contingent learning and being an active agent in early cognitive and social settings during the first five years of life will provide a strong foundation for future perceptions of control over important areas in one’s life (Furnham & …
